tives of -oiarging in Congress the agitation of
the slavery question upon northern members,
~ did Taiiting the svuthern people believe the
gharge to be true. Yet, if any one will take
the touble to look over the speeches that
ave been made in Congress any session dur~~ jug the liat thirty years, it will be found that
~ where one northern member has uttered a
word on the subject of slavery, southern
embers have uttered sentences. In truth
it has been the gr ext stock in trade of soutbOrn: representatives. Occasionally an irrepressible slavery destructionist will be seen to
have opened the controversy, but in a large
3 ghajovity of instances, of late years particuJarly, the theme hae been introduced without
provocation by southern members themelves; and the reply provoked from northern members. hes beon afterwards quoun Ovidence 0: intermeddling hostility on the

masses Of the northern peeple down to the
‘a tian obtained @ seat in Congress who radiaally differed with his compeers in sentiment
on the dlavery question; but his election was
owing to local canses or the Congressional
district system and to the unrestrained liberty of mind in the uorthern States, and should
not have been taken 29 an index of northern
sentiment at all, but the South should have
been satisfied with the conservatism of
the mastes ae represented on the floors of
Congress, and ought to have had the wisdow
to forbear the discussion of a subject, which
least of all will stand the analysis of any well
regulated mind.
Since, however, the seceasion doctrine
waa broa¢hed by Calhoun, the minda of southern demagogues and destructionists have
been set upon a separate government, where» in they imagined. they could figure to great
{+ gdivantage,as statesmen and. privileged .

that the language of Davis would be read

will be strengthened thereby in the opinion

When the question comes up in Congress
whether the policy of the Government is, to
attempt to preserve the Union with slavery
or without, the proper time will arrive for
Mr. Davis or any other Senator to give his
reasons, without passion or abuse, why one
course should be pursued in preference to
and revive old and stale charges ata time
when not appropriate, looks after the old
style, and creates the very suspicion that
Mr. Davis appears to be anxious to allay,
that this slavery question ean never be set~

critical time and at an inopportune moment, :

written by Thomas Rowlandson, of San
Francisco, on this point. He says, if the
swamp lands around Sacramento are to be
wr ae they now are as compensating
the defenge of Sacramento city by means of
levees if an easy miatter, and adds:
‘meet _y co beatoff the destructive

carried on to the extent proposed, namely, of
reclaiming five millions of acres, must eventually -cause such a state of things that the.
Llevees to be erected in’ érder to effeetually
restrain the water during the heavy floods,
will have to be constructed so elevated and
of such great breadth in consequence of
such elevation, ag to be beyond the bounds
of practicability, having a due’ regard for
the coat of cxpital and labor required. —
While the swamps are open as they now ex~
ist, and being used as a species of compensiting reservoir, with no danger of thei being circumscribed in future, leveeing is the
fitting course to be pursued. and_any further
consideration of the subject would be uynecessary. It may, however, with great
justice be apprehended that alarge and not
uninfluential party will insist upon having
the low lands now so useful as a reservoir
reclaimed; m which case it behooves all interested in Sacramento to devise or adept
measures beat calculated to meet auch alt-red
ciéumstances, and prevent what otherwise
might be productive of disastrous results.

DICKINSON ON THE UNiON.—Hon. Daniel
8. Dickinson has been jecturing o the Union.
We extract a few portions gt his discourse
to show where the minds of old Democrats
are directed: We trast good Democraté will .
ere and choose the course that they design
to follow. Dickinson was the choice of a
large minority of the Democrats of this State
for President instead of Buchanan. It would
have been a happy circumstance if he had
instead of the weak:kneed Buchanan.
Dickinson speaks of slavery in this wise :
We are playing at stakes with the cause of
liberty at the hazard. The masses of the
Southern people are yet loyal, and would return to their allegiance except for an armed
moo directed by conspiracy. They will now
yield only tu forve, and we are now bound to
ut forward our whole power and strike our
oe where it 1s weakest. We can strike between the points of the harness. We should,
confiscate the property of rebela totally, absolutely and im:nes p+ take-every one of
their slaves, and let Congress make some
disposition of them—erush the redellion by
any and every weans known by Christianity.
There can be no compromise with rebellion.
If we compromise once we shall soon have
no Government tv compromise.
